I was convinced by my partner to have a child but I still feel conflicted inside, how to see parenting positively ?

Hi, long post I'll try to TLDR my questions
M32 in couple with a F32 for 11y. We've been enjoying our life pretty well since the beginning and we've agreed on important things most of the time : vacations, buying a house, changing both jobs and moving... I was drawn to the childfree life, my partner was undecided and fine with postponing the decision.
Then 2y ago she became more pressing on that topic asking for a decision (the biological clock that may or may not exist) because she felt the desire of having one child. This topic became a blocking point that no one wanted to talk about since we disagreed.
Finally I finally agreed, not because of a sudden desire of kids, but rather because I didn't have any rational reason to oppose it. I also agreed based on the fact that actually getting pregnant may take long so it would leave time to getting used to the idea, let nature do its work.
She got pregnant after 2 weeks, which is a blessing compared to people struggling for years, but also caught me off-guard. I am getting ready by buying baby stuff, building the bedroom but I can't feel any interest in "caring" for the future baby.
There is a saying in France that men don't care about babies until they actually have their own in their arms.

So my questions :

  • did anyone find in a similar situation, AKA following their partner in this project while not being totally convinced ?
  • How did it turn out after that ?
  • Is there a calling for parenting or just is just a task you feel more or less capable of ?

Battlenet games missing in lutris

Hi,
I installed battlenet in Lutris 0.5.22 using protonplus to get  wine-staging-tkg (Kron4ek) - 10.6 based on the advise here

It worked for a while but today i first got the error that it wouldn't locate my games. When I restarted battlenet it worked but it now asks me to re-install SC2. When I try to locate the game using the file explorer inside battlenet I can find the folder where it should be but no .exe file can be found.
However if i use the regular linux file explorer i can see the .exe at the same location (see screenshots).

I tried changing wine version but :

  • if i use another Kron4ek verion it has the same issue
  • if i use Proton GE or Experimental then Battlenet doesn't start at all.

Should i re install everything ? Thanks for the help

Fuckyouinparticular : French politics x road cycling collab

Quick recap : Tour Auvergne Rhone Alpes is the new name of Criterium du Dauphiné. The change is due to a local right wing politician (Wauquiez) who wants the name of the region everywhere in his kingdom.
Now Wauquiez doesn't like green party and anyone who oppose him. Grenoble (2 or 3rd city of the region) has been ruled by green party for years and has always been a green/leftist stronghold. The mayor and Wauquiez always fought over petty (or not) subjects like excluding muslims women from swimming pools, who will host international events (like winter olympics) or if public transport should be encouraged.

The revenge from Wauquiez : the first stage of Tour Auvergne Rhone Alpes 2026, all around Grenoble but never setting foot in. Also excluding Grenoble from winter olympics despite it being in the Alps and having one of the bigger ice rink.

That was too long

What is the deal with the new Copilot/Github token billing thing ?

I'm not even sure I understand the issue : 'What a joke': GitHub Copilot's new token-based billing spurs consternation among devs | TechCrunch
People (developers ?) used to pay a monthly subscription to use Copilot and now they have to pay at each request (token ?) ?
The thing I don't understand is : what is the link with github and why are there so many developers working on Copilot ?
